River Don tide times

[BillyStubbsTears]

Looks like it'll be similar at the bridge at Sproty an all.

According to this, the Environment Agency is predicting the Don at North Bridge to top out at the highest level yet recorded tonight.

Don't know how far back their records go, mind.

The highest levels were recorded on 26 June 2007 which is when there was catastrophic flooding across the region.

Hopefully the work they've done in the aftermath of that will mean it won't be as bad this time.

Thats not good news for Toll Bar, although I think the last flooding there was from the Ea Beck

Just been over Sprotbrough falls. The Don has burst its banks and is very close to joining up with the canal on the other side

My garage is a bit underwater, much higher and the freezer will have to go off and its bloody full!

Ey up,

Gone but not forgotten, eh? Just to say I went through a tough period, lost touch with a lot of friends, became very insular and stopped posting on here. Anxiety, depression. Followed by some serious family problems, cancer and caring. Money became tight for me and I stopped going to the games and more lately we've moved away from Donny.

Still follow the club though and check the forum now and again but I didn't feel I have much to contribute, not going to the games n'all.

It seems to be a good period for the Rovers now. It's good to see. Can't believe Copps is still going from strength to strength.

Once a Rover, always a Rover.

By the way that little admission has ticked off one of the things I've been meaning to do for some time now.

The EA have just announced that the river is due to flood at Stainforth later tonight.

You're still more of a fan than the plastic ones following Premiership sides that they never see live.🙂👍

Yes I’ve had the phonecall, I think it will go over on the Fishlake bank

Well as we know, the bank is lower on that side.

[Nudga]

Surely Stainy would be better off flooded?
It would add some much needed improvements.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Good to see you back RD.

Might drown a few brain dead folk around here, pissing it down and fireworks going off 😳😳😳😳😳

Welcome back River Don. Hope you're not just gonna visit once in a flood.

It's just passed the highest ever level?

[River Don]

Welcome back River Don. Hope you're not just gonna visit once in a flood.

You know the weather tonight reminds me of the last time the River Don flooded. I remember reading on here someone saying what with the river Don flooding Hillsborough and Meadowhall that they were proud it was our river doing all that.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Not looking good for kirk sandal now by sounds of it.

[glosterred]

I know this is for Sheffield, but it gives an idea of the amount of rain that’s fallen over the last couple of days

Current rainfall and #flooding in S Yorks in numbers...

It sounds awful the limited news I get about it

Don breached at St Oswalds church, those houses opposite Kirk Sandal train station will surely get it, they are built on land lower than the surrounding area

[BillyStubbsTears]

This is shaping up to be worse than 2007.

[Al4475]

Kirk Sandall and baby dun on high flood alert, Kirk Sandall juniors (and Infants) is closed as is hungerhill - not sure about the other schools in the area.

Long Toft in Stainforth closed

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Yep where the new houses are. Cracking location for new houses that!

We'll be fine in Edenthorpe, if it gets to us its disastrous levels, but kirk sandal etc is a worry.

Just heard shops on Wheatley Hall road have been advised to evacuate, and they are building houses on the old Harvesters site next to the River, good look in selling those

Most are already sold.

Boat Inn and the cottages there are complete submerged, almost to the first floor level.

[glosterred]

River Don levels have exceeded 2007 levels and it’s yet to peak

[DonnyOsmond]

More rain due in next couple hours.
